Pachaipuli Rasam / Raw Tamarind Soup

This was
an authentic dish to our kongu region. I like this rasam a lot. This rasam is
prepared without cooking .

Puli
means tamarind in Tamil , pachai means raw , it also refers to green color. Here
, pachai refers to raw , as this rasam is not cooked.

This rasam is usually made to accompany the rice
pongal – without dal , rice is cooked fully and was easily mashable. This
pongal is made in temple festivals and also during pongal festival – Harvest festival
of Tamil nadu.

For this
rice pongal , Green gram dhal and pachaipuli rasam are the best combo sides.

Hand is the main kitchen aid used in preparing
this rasam. This rasam is an ancient recipe which comes through generations. It
is a delicious rasam with the raw smell of shallots , garlic ,chilli and
tamarind. While typing i was drooling about the rasam………
